YOUR SHORT GAME SOLUTION

The first and only book on the market to teach the revolutionary “finesse wedge” solution, by the sought-after golf coach who developed it.

Since James Sieckmann first revealed his short-game methods two decades ago, he has amassed a cultlike following of more than seventy PGA and LPGA Tour disciples and was dubbed the “Short Game Guru to the Pros” (GOLF Magazine). Using his system, Sieckmann’s students fast became some of the best short-game players of the modern era. A two-time winner on the PGA Tour jumped 117 spots in the Sand Save rankings in one season; another client quickly jumped eighty-one spots in Scrambling percentage.

The benefits of a good short game are undisputed. Unfortunately, players at all levels fail to develop effective short-game skills because instructors teach the exact opposite of the correct technique. Sieckmann studied the greatest short-game players in recent memory—including Seve Ballesteros, Corey Pavin, and Ray Floyd—to develop a proven and pragmatic way to learn, practice, and perform with each wedge in every situation. His unique observations were verified by motion capture technology, and twenty years later he started teaching his methods, which work for amateurs as well as the pros.

In his long-awaited first book, Sieckmann opens up his vault of secrets for all golfers. After breaking down the basics, he presents a session-by-session training and practice guide—the same one he creates for his tour clients—to help the reader develop and sustain correct habits, avoid common flaws, and hone essential skills. Next, Sieckmann explains how to optimize a player’s finesse wedge swing for every scenario. An easy-to-learn and easy-to-use system, YOUR SHORT GAME SOLUTION will be the go-to guide anywhere golf is played.

For the past twenty years, JAMES SIECKMANN has honed his strategies and taught PGA and LPGA professionals at his school, Shadow Ridge Golf Academy. He lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska. DAVID DENUNZIO is a managing editor at GOLF Magazine and has coauthored twelve instructional books on the sport.
